SPS 360.12(1)(d)(d) The submittal of a notice of intent to the department for a construction site with one or more acres of land disturbing construction activity constitutes an application for coverage under a storm water construction site general permit issued by the department of natural resources pursuant to s. 283.33, Stats., and ch. NR 216, which contains erosion control standards established by the department of safety and professional services pursuant to s. 101.1206, Stats.

SPS 360.12 NoteNote: Although construction site notices of intent are submitted to the Department of Safety and Professional Services, coverage under the Department Natural Resources' storm water construction site general permit is required by the United States Environmental Protection Agency in accordance with its delegation of Clean Water Act permit authority to the Department of Natural Resources.

SPS 360.12 NoteNote: Department of Natural Resources rules under s. NR 216.42 (4) state: "Storm water discharges from construction sites for public buildings and buildings that are places of employment regulated by the department of safety and professional services pursuant to s. 101.1206, Stats., in a manner which is equivalent to this subchapter shall be deemed to hold a WPDES permit issued pursuant to this subchapter." Sites deemed to hold a WPDES permit are subject to DNR enforcement for violations of permit conditions.

SPS 360.13(1)(a)3.3. An erosion and sediment control plan shall show the areas of land disturbance and location of all control practices to be employed to comply with this chapter.

SPS 360.13(1)(a)4.4. An erosion and sediment control plan shall show the pre-construction ground surface contour lines at intervals appropriate for conditions present within the proposed disturbed areas.

SPS 360.13(1)(a)5.5. An erosion and sediment control plan shall identify the initial downstream receiving water of the state from the building site.

SPS 360.14(1)(1) A person certified in accordance with ch. SPS 305 as a soil erosion inspector or commercial building inspector shall conduct all inspections performed for the purpose of administering and enforcing the erosion and sediment control provisions under this chapter.

SPS 360.14(2)(2) The inspections of the erosion and sediment control practices under this chapter shall be conducted as required under s. SPS 361.41.

SPS 360.15(1)(a)(a)Notification. Upon finding of noncompliance, the inspector administering and enforcing the erosion and sediment control provisions under this chapter shall notify the owner or owner's agent in writing of the violations to be corrected and the time period allowed for compliance.

SPS 360.15(1)(b)(b)Timing of orders. Except as provided in par. (c), the time period allowed for compliance shall be determined based on the severity of the noncompliance in relation to the potential soil loss or damage to the waters of the state.

SPS 360.15(1)(c)1.1. Pursuant to s. 101.1206, Stats., the department or a certified municipality may issue a special order directing an immediate cessation of construction work on other facets of the building until compliance with the erosion and sediment control provisions under this chapter is attained.

SPS 360.15(1)(c)2.2. Construction work may resume once the erosion and sediment control compliance corrections have been completed.

SPS 360.15(2)(2)Penalties. Penalties for violations of this chapter shall be assessed in accordance with s. 101.02 (13), Stats.

SPS 360.15 NoteNote: Section 101.02 (13), Stats., provides for fines of up to $100 for each violation of rules promulgated under this section. Each day of continued violation may constitute a separate offense.

SPS 360.15 NoteNote: For a site where one or more acres of land disturbing construction activity occurs, the Department of Natural Resources has the ability to inspect and pursue enforcement action under the issuance of the Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, WPDES, General Permit pursuant to chapter NR 216.

SPS 360.20(1)(a)(a) Where land disturbing construction activity is to occur erosion and sediment control practices shall be employed, as necessary, and maintained to prevent or reduce the potential deposition of soil or sediment to all of the following:

SPS 360.20(1)(b)(b) Land disturbing construction activities, except those activities necessary to implement erosion or sediment control practices, may not begin until the sediment control practices are in place for each area to be disturbed in accordance with the erosion and sediment control plan.

SPS 360.20(1)(c)(c) Erosion and sediment control practices shall be maintained until the disturbed areas are stabilized. A disturbed area shall be considered stabilized when a perennial cover has been established with a density of at least 70%.

SPS 360.20(1)(d)(d) Erosion and sediment control practices shall either be approved by the department or listed by the department of natural resources in accordance with the process under s. NR 151.32 (2).

SPS 360.20 NoteNote: Listed practices can be found through the Department's Division of Industry Services website at http://dsps.wi.gov/programs/industry-services or by contacting the Division at telephone (608) 266-3151 or 877/617-1565 or 411 (Telecommunications Relay).

SPS 360.20(2)(2)Mandated practices. Specific practices at each site where land disturbing construction activity is to occur shall be utilized to prevent or reduce all of the following:

SPS 360.20(2)(a)(a) The deposition of soil from being tracked onto streets by vehicles.

SPS 360.20(2)(b)(b) The discharge of sediment from disturbed areas into on-site storm water inlets.

SPS 360.20(2)(c)(c) The discharge of sediment from disturbed areas into abutting waters of the state.

SPS 360.20(2)(d)(d) The discharge of sediment from drainage ways that flow off the site.

SPS 360.20(3)(a)2.2. Seven and a half tons per acre per [year] where silt, silty clay loam or silt loam textures are exposed.

SPS 360.20 NoteNote: A missing word is shown in brackets.

SPS 360.20(3)(b)(b) A reduction of at least 80% of the potential sediment load in storm water runoff from the site on an average annual basis as compared with no sediment or erosion controls for the site when the land disturbing construction activity involves one or more acres.

SPS 360.20(3)(c)(c) A reduction of at least 40% of the potential sediment load in storm water runoff from the site on an average annual basis as compared with no sediment or erosion controls for the site where less than one acre of land disturbing construction activity is to occur.

SPS 360.22(2)(a)(a) Except as required in par. (b), the owner or owner's agent shall complete repair or replacement of erosion and sediment control practices or devices as necessary within 48 hours of an interval specified under s. SPS 360.21.
